C[CH2]3NMe}(CO)2(η-C5H5) to Mo(CO)2{η2-CH[CH2]3NMe}(η-C5H5)
Abstract
Treatment of the anion [Mo{[graphic omitted]Me}(CO)2(η-C5H5)]– with acid leads to the hydrido molybdenum carbene Mo(H){[graphic omitted]Me}(CO)2(η-C5H5) which isomerises by a hydride to carbene migration process resulting in M[graphic omitted]Me}(η-C5H5).
